Gotta say though the sight glass is nice and big and easy to view unlike tiny crappy one on the fzs 600

I vaguely remember the days when i could see oil in my sump through the glass window.
Can't see a damn thing now.  :\
[/quote]So here we go then - why has yours gone brown and mine has not, I know that you look after your bike and change the oil regular and so on but what has happened. Could it be that £1.99 5ltr oil you use  :pokefun   

Or could it be that because of the amount of heavy traffic commuting you do that your oil is running hotter than my "fun use only" riding in the Shires and the hot oil has stained it.

Nothing wrong with my choice of oil. I won't use anything else now.
It happened before I was using it anyway.


I've not got an answer to be honest, yes I do shorter runs than some people, but as you mention I change my oil every 4000 miles so I really have no idea why it has blacked itself out?
I literally cannot see anything through it at all, so i put 2.8litres of oil in with a new filter then it doesn't get touched aga in until the next change.
Obviously if I spotted any kind of oil leak I'd have to deal with it immediately but otherwise it's not really a big deal at all.
